In this approach to the manifold problems of 20th century parents, Dr. Dreikurs has wisely stressed the constructive aspects of the parental role in child rearing, offering many concrete suggestions for positive action in specific settings. His discussion of mental hygiene principles is couched in language which has meaning to the interested parent, and his treatment of such potentially difficult areas as the setting of limits for aggressive behavior, the sensitive enlightenment of the child on sexual matters, and the handling of minor behavioral deviations by the judicial usage of matter-of-fact and superficial interpretations of the child's partially conscious goals of behavior seem sound and effectively developed.

The Ideal

Statement of the problem. Solving the problem of psychological and pedagogical support for parents requires studying the request for psychological assistance from their side. In our opinion, this can be done by studying social ideas of modern parents about various aspects of the parenthood phenomenon. The purpose of the article is to present a comparative analysis of semantic cores of ideas about parenthood in adults with and without children. Materials and methods. The research methodology is represented by the concept of social representations by S. Moscovici, as well as generalized studies in the field of social representations by Russian and foreign scientists (K. A. Abulkhanova-Slavskaya, G. M. Andreeva, E. Yu. Artemyeva, O. E. Baskansky, I. B. Bovina, M. I. Volovikova, T. P. Emelyanova, I. Markova, L. G. Pochebut, P. N. Shikhirev, E. V. Yakimova, J. K. Abrik, P. Verges, D. Jodle). Research results. The core of ideas about parenting in adults with and without children are concepts that reflect emotional and behavioral components of parenthood. According to Russian adults who do not have children, parenthood is a responsible and very complex phenomenon, and this can make them postpone child birth. In the minds of potential parents, there is a fairly idealized image of a parent who has remarkable personal qualities, is understanding, caring, and knows how to raise a model child. This largely explains their references to “not being ready” to be a parent, as well as subsequent dissatisfaction with the experience of parenthood, when the ideal image does not correspond to reality. Conclusion. Differences in understanding the concept of parenting in people who have and do not have children clearly describe the crisis experienced by parents when their expectations of parenthood do not meet the reality in which the parental role is performed. In this regard, programs of psychological preparation for parenthood are important, as well as psychological and pedagogical support for young parents in the process of developing their parental competence.

Adoptive Families

In this article we will reflect on the possible implications that the pandemic and lockdown has brought upon adoptive families. Some adoptive parents have taken this time as an opportunity to meet and strengthen their bond with their children, others have perceived it as a learning experience. However, for many it has meant an increase of stress that interferes with their parental role. We reflect on the aspects that enhance a secure and protective bond in adoptive families, in which parents welcome their children and their emotions. Adoptive parents who are open to reflect on their own histories and their children’s, are emotionally more available to face the difficulties that life during the pandemic brings.

In the United States, the majority of HIV-infected women are of childbearing age and have dependent childen. Seropositivity for HIV threatens a woman's ability to care for her children into adulthood. In on effort to address the pain these women feel regarding their parental role, the authors helped HIV-infected women develop videotapes for their children. This article describes the therapeutic application of videotapes for HIV-infected women with dependent children. Case studies illustrate how women are prepared to make a tape for their children and the (aping process as well as examine issues practitioners confront before, during, and after the taping session.

Professional Intervention

ResumeThe effects of professional intervention in family life and relationships has been questioned by a number of writers who maintain that this involvement has led to the undermining of parental authority and a lessening of parental competence and confidence. By contrast, others see this involvement as supplying necessary skills to family members.Amongst the programmes which professionals have implemented are parent education programmes, many of which are conducted in groups and which are valued by both practitioners and writers. As part of the broader debate about the relationships between professionals and the family however, some critics suggest that parent education programmes can have adverse effects on parents' confidence in their parental role and on their self-reliance in deciding how best to raise their children.A research project is being put into effect in Melbourne to explore these issues.
